Abstract
Provided is a vehicle stop support system for supporting vehicle stop in an emergency condition. The vehicle stop support system sets an allowable lateral acceleration, based on a physical abnormality of a driver; detects a plurality of stop point candidates in a traveling direction of a vehicle; estimates a lateral acceleration to be generated during traveling of the vehicle to each of the candidates; estimates a rear-end collision risk that the vehicle will be rear-ended by a following vehicle; sets a stop point; and controls the vehicle to travel to the stop point and stop at the stop point. The system is operable to set, as the stop point, one of the candidates which satisfies a condition that the lateral acceleration estimated with respect thereto is equal to or less than the allowable lateral acceleration and which is lowest in terms of the rear-end collision risk.
